26 stitches. Will miss USA friendlies.

He's out 6 months!! Here's 1 report that seemed to have the most info but still haven't read what exactly got busted that's gonna take that long to heal.....6 months is a long time nowadays. Surgery on something but it didn't say what. Weird. Also weird that it says Bolton didn't have any more info on his injury. I mean, he's probably one of their top 2-3 players & one of the main reasons they've have a pretty good year (considering Bolton's recent history)

i think its a combo of healing time (deep gash) and getting back his fitness. i also hope he stops challenging for 50/50 balls by leaving his feet or he's bound to get hurt again. too many goons in professional soccer that dive in cleats up and daring anyone to come in clean.
